Abu-Sneineh told Quds Press that the Israeli occupation forces shot rubber bullets at him, striking him in the legs before they arrested him. Then, he was released after Israeli bulldozers demolished two Palestinian buildings in the neighbourhood.

Meanwhile, employees of the Israeli municipality of Jerusalem along with Israeli Special Forces broke into the house of Musa Obeidat at 4:30am.

Speaking to Quds Press, Obeidat said that he had a demolition order and planned to demolish his house by himself to avoid paying the high cost of demolition imposed by the municipality, but Israeli bulldozers came earlier and destroyed the unit. He is now obliged to pay the bulldozers’ fees.

So far this month, Israeli occupation forces have demolished six agricultural facilities in occupied East Jerusalem under the pretext that they were built without the necessary licenses, Quds Press said.
